29. Black authors' books from Bookshop since a percentage of your purchase will go toward helping local bookstores thrive in business. Helping them get their read on AND the greater good is mos def a lovely holiday gift. Remember, supporting Black authors IS supporting a Black-owned biz. They're self-employed entrepreneurs just like the folks who have online or in-person storefronts. šššæ
30. A science-themed jigsaw puzzle to encourage the kid in your life who adores everything about experimenting with strange concoctions. At least with this puzzle, there'll be less of a mess for you to clean up after them.
31. The Brilliant or BS card game for anyone in your life who lives for a good game night at the house. This'll be an easy game since knowing the *actual* trivia answers isn't the point of it exactly. It'll have players questioning their judgment, their friends' and fam's knowledge, and maybe doing a lil' bit of lying š„“š.
